Card Share Sunday - Ribbons of Courage

There is probably not one person reading this post that has not been affected by breast cancer or some sort of cancer.  Whether it be your own challenge with cancer or that of a relative or friend.  We all can name someone that has been touched by this devastating disease.  Today I am sharing cards made with the Ribbons of Courage stamps set and the Support Ribbon Framelits.  Here are three cards that I received as part of a Stampin Connections swap or Random Act of Kindness exchange. 






This stamp set is very versatile, it can be used to send encouragement to someone facing illness, send love to a special someone or just note to lift someone up.   I think the Ribbon of Courage is a must-have stamp set, that is also available in a Bundle (save 10%) with the Support Ribbon Framelit Dies. See the product choices below in the supply list and choose what fits your stamping needs best.

 
Send a Ribbon of Courage card to someone to let them know you are thinking of them.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  Breast Cancer Awareness month is October.  This Ribbons of Courage stamp set is so versatile that you can use any color for the ribbons to help support your cause!  The hearts can be used  for Valentine’s day cards! The new In-Color Powder Pink would be great for Breast Cancer Awareness cards, as well as Blushing Bride and Pink Pirouette.  The sentiments are thoughtful and the images are elegant.

Brick and Mortar Christmas - Brick Wall TIEF

Hello stamping friends.  My family and I are sending many prayers out to all that are recovering from hurricane Harvey and many more prayers for folks that have been or will be touched by super storm Irma.  I am at a loss for words with all the devastation going on lately.  Hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes it is all overwhelming.

With all the devastation it is difficult to think about Christmas, but just like the changing seasons it will come and you need to be ready.  Every Friday from now till Christmas I will share a holiday card or project to inspire you to create something special for the ones you love.  Today I am featuring the Brick Wall  Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Swirly Scribbles Thinlets Dies and Holly Berry Happiness Stamps.   

 
Card Measurements:
Crumb Cake Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Early Espresso Layer 5 3/8 x 4 1/8
Cherry Cobble Embossed Layer 5 1/4 x 4
Sentiment Crumb Cake  3/4 x 4  & Early Espresso 1 x 4
Wreath Early Espresso & Crumb Cake 3 x 3
Garden Green & Cheery Cobbler scraps for holly

TIP: To get a real brick and mortar effect I applied the new Embossing Paste directly to the embossed Cherry Cobbler cardstock on the de-bossed side of the paper. I think it really looks like a brick wall with grout line.  It dried in about 15 minutes leaving a nice texture and finish on the card stock.  I made 12 of these cards for a swap.  I think the swappers will like it.

Card Challenge Monday: Merry Cafe - Just add Ink Challenge #374

Oh my, I have been absent for a bit.  Getting my three teenagers back in school was a bigger challenge than I anticipated these last couple of weeks.  Several schedule changes and multiple teacher meetings for a while I thought I worked at the school.  Today I have a sweet card to share with you using the Merry Café stamp set that will be available on 1 September.

 
Card Measurements:
Garden Green Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Cherry Cobbler Layer 5 3/8 x  4 1/8
 Whisper White Embossed Layer  5 1/4 x  4
Be Merry DSP Accent 1 1/2 x 4
 



TIP:  Sponged the outer edges of the Whisper White lid and sentiment with Crumb Cake to made it stand out against the white embossed background.  A subtle touch, but it works.

 
I am featuring this card in the Just Add Ink blog weekly challenge #374.  Participating in weekly challenges are  great way to expand your creativity and share your creations with others.

Card CASE: Happy Birthday Thinlet and Paper Pumpkin News

Today I am featuring the Happy Birthday Thinlet on two cards that I made for a Pink and Yellow swap.  I CASEd this card design from M. Deathrage on Pinterest.  Since I am mailing this overseas, to The Netherlands, I needed this card to be flat, so no dimensionals on this one.  I made two cards with Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo cardstock and watercolor pencils, no stamps at all.  So simple and easy to make.

 
Card Measurements:
Daffodil Delight Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Melon Mambo Layer 5 1/4 x  4
 Whisper White  5 1/8 x  3 7/8
 
 
Card Measurements:
Melon Mambo Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Daffodil Delight  Layer 5 1/4 x  4
 Whisper White  5 1/8 x  3 7/8

Technique Tip: I die cut the Happy Birthday, laid it on a sheet of copy paper and covered it with Versa Mark, applied Iridescent Ice Emboss Powder (sadly retired) and heated up with my Heat Tool.  Turned out beautiful.  You could do the same with glue and Dazzling Diamonds.
